* Arguably, Urick in ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} 2''. It's heavily, ''heavily'' implied that he and Yaha were more than just friends, and Urick doesn't display any overly-effeminate traits, unless being the former guardian of what basically amounts to a magical flower garden counts. [[CampGay Yaha, on the other hand...]]

* ''Film/Eternals2021'': Phastos is married to an architect, raises a kid with him, and otherwise is portrayed with very few stereotypically gay traits.

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower''

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' gives us the first official gay couple in a Nickelodeon cartoon: Howard and Harold [=McBride=]. Neither however have any CampGay tendencies, at all, and are presented in a realistic manner. Even the few times they do show CampGay tendencies it's mostly PlayedForLaughs.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines''. [[spoiler:Katie]] is queer but the only indications are her showering Jade with Hearts when they are face timing, her wearing a Pride-Badge on her hoodie throughout the movie, her Flashback to when she was a teenager where she "spent some time figuring herself out", and in the end [[spoiler:when Linda asks if Katie and Jade are official when she's coming back for Thanksgiving break.]]

* The two henchman from ''Film/DiamondsAreForever''; while Mr. Wint could be said to be vaguely swishy(though not really for the time), Mr. Kidd is so un-flamboyant, you'd never guess he's gay if not for the "For a lady" scene.

A lot of gay people object to the term itself (especially with the term Straight-Acting), arguing that gender presentation and sexual orientation are unrelated, and that the term is [[BrokenBase unnecessarily divisive]]. Gay men exhibiting masculine tendencies or preferring masculine hobbies isn't necessarily a problem; it's when it is used to vocally differentiate the individual from "''[[CampGay those]]'' [[YouAreACreditToYourRace gays]]" that it becomes an issue. The trope itself isn't necessarily harmful, but applying it to real people can be.

* Jaehee and Dai in ''Manhwa/LetDai''. Basically, their love for each other is the only thing that makes them gay.

* The main couple in ''Manhwa/DarkHeaven'' have little to no CampGay traits and happen to be quite manly in different ways.

!!!'''Creators:'''
* Creator/GrahamChapman hated the CampGay stereotype and made a point of exhibiting the clean-cut, pipe-smoking British image of masculinity (both on- and off-screen).
!!!'''Series:'''

* ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Bartender Husk is pansexual. He doesn't have gay stereotypes or even pansexual stereotypes (ExtremeOmnisexual, LovableSexManiac).

* ''Series/{{Intimate}}'': Leo is this to a fault. He has no stereotypical mannerisms at all but it’s also suggested he isn’t all that comfortable with his sexuality. He’s emotionally closed off, insists on always topping during sex and has a very heteronormative view of his relationship with his boyfriend Florian, outright calling him the "woman" in their relationship. When asked if presenting himself like this is the only way he can feel comfortable with being gay, Leo doesn’t answer, but the implication is clearly that it’s true.

* ''Series/SpinCity'': Carter Heywood was gay; aside from being overly fastidious, and his dressing habits, he had no obvious 'gay' mannerisms at all--though occasionally he showed a few signs, such as a deep knowledge of musicals and his treatment of his dog.

-->-- ''Cheer Up Emo Kid''

* ''Literature/TheZodiacSeries'': Guardian Brynda Wazel is a lesbian, which isn't particularly obvious until she hits on [[TheHero Rho]].
** Similarly, while [[spoiler:Ophiuchus]] is gay, the character displays no stereotypical traits and could easily be mistaken for straight or asexual before TheReveal.

* Michael Boatman's character on ''Series/SpinCity'' was gay; aside from being overly fastidious, and his dressing habits, he had no obvious 'gay' mannerisms at all--though occasionally he showed a few signs, such as a deep knowledge of musicals and his treatment of his dog.
